Most firms guard the method and sell the hours. We publish how value actually gets built across the four capitals, so you can use it whether you ever hire us or not.
Start with the four-capitals series, the part of the System that decides your multiple long before EBITDA does.
If the playbook lives in your head, a buyer is paying for your attendance, not your company. Here is how to move it into the business, and why that is where the premium hides.

A hard market punishes hesitation more than it punishes a wrong call. Standing still is its own decision.
Before you hand over a seat, ten questions separate a real operator from an expensive advisor.
